How much does a dust extraction system cost?

“How much does dust extraction cost?” — the customer’s first question. Honest answer: the price depends on the object and is determined after the survey. But it is useful to understand what it consists of and what influences it even before applying. Let’s look at it piece by piece.

What does the cost consist of?

A turnkey dust extraction system is not only a filter. The price includes:

• Site inspection and technical specifications— measurements, identification of dust sources.
• Design— network calculation, equipment selection, drawings (if necessary).
• Equipment– filter, fan, local suction, bunkers.
• Air ducts and fittings– sometimes up to a third of the estimate on extensive networks.
• Installation— work under a construction and installation work license, with a visiting team.
• Commissioning— output to the mode with instrumental measurements.

What affects the price

• Gas volume (flow)— the more m³/h, the larger and more expensive the equipment.
• Dust type and concentration— abrasive, explosive or hot environments require special execution.
• Number of dust extraction points— each machine or transfer unit = additional suction and air duct.
• Gas temperature— hot gases require heat-resistant materials and cooling.
• Installation conditions– height, cramped conditions, work without stopping production.

Approximate prices

To understand the order of the amounts, the website hasapproximate calculationandpricing pageaccording to the scale of the object. These are starting guidelines “from” – the exact cost is always calculated according to the technical specifications, because no two production facilities are identical.

Why can’t you give the exact price over the phone?

It is impossible to name an honest price without data: the engineer needs to know the sources of dust, its nature, gas volumes and installation conditions. The figure “out of thin air” is either overestimated “with a margin” or underestimated – and then additional payments appear in the process. Therefore, a serious contractor starts with a survey, and not with a price list.

How to save money without losing quality

The real savings are not in cheap equipment, but in the right design: precise selection of performance without excess margin, optimal route of air ducts, equipment of our own production without intermediary markups. ABL produces filters, cyclones and air ducts at its production in Temirtau – this eliminates the markup and shortens the lead time.
